Spam as catfish bait?

I have used bacon a few times.. what I do to keep it from falling off is take some nylon stockings (pantyhose) and tie whatever I want up in that.. then hook it through.. the nylon allows the gunk to go through, but keeps the chunk in tack.

I've never had any trouble getting bacon to stay on a single hook. Just stick it through the bacon a bunch of times. Salt pork stays on the hook extremely well. I've wondered about bacon rind, but never tried it.
